- Vaslo 5y agoWas just coming here to say this - probably a bit gory for some when it comes to body horror but very cool manga!
- thetrustworthy 5y agoWow, I wasn't expecting to find a reference to a horror manga in the comments of my post about (what I believed to be) innocuous spirals! That's amazing, although I'm too squeamish to try and read it!
- cinntaile 5y agoHe makes interesting horror stories. I don't usually like horror but I have read some of his work. Another one, by him, that has stuck with me is a bonus story of Gyo called The Enigma of Amigara Fault.
- novosel 5y agoI've seen the film. Interesting atmosphere, digital effects are somewhat dated (think 90ies video), practical effect are fine. I am not a manga reader, so it may have flown over my head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzumaki_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzumaki_(film)
- forgotpwd16 5y agoCannot see spirals without thinking about Uzumaki. And by considering all his work, saying Junji Ito is a master of horror isn't an overstatement.
- allenu 5y agoI really enjoyed the post and yes immediately thought of Uzumaki. I think it’s my favorite thing that he’s done.
- agumonkey 5y agono but now I might :) ps: how funny, your description reminded me of a nightmarish manga about a strange hole in a mountain, and .. it was by junji ito https://www.scaryforkids.com/enigma-of-amigara-fault/ https://www.scaryforkids.com/enigma-of-amigara-fault/ (I forgot who the author was until right now)
